BEST ANSWER:If you're just fertilizing to replenish soil nutrients, you can make the first application after the trees' first year in the ground. If it's a zinc sulfate, they should be around fruit-bearing age, so around the 7th year in the ground for this variety.

Customer Reviews

The tree I have is not old enough to produce yet. I can say it has come back from deer eating the top out of it over the winter but with a little fencing placed around the tree it is growing well in hard clay ground. I can not wait to get the first crop from it.

We have two Surecrop Pecans. One is a few years older than the other. The oldest started blooming at about age 8. The other hasn't started blooming. I have no pollinator blooming yet, so no pecans yet. However, I live close to zone 5 and these trees are doing very well while other varieties have died. Stark Bro's pecan trees are the only ones I can get to live along zone 5, so far. Only gets a four since I don't know what the pecans taste like yet. I recommend this one for zone 5 definitely!

i love to buy from Stark bros great grafting trees. Very friendly service unbelievable! as some trees died i had replacement with no problems not even asking a proof for it but i didi send pics of my dry trees just to be nice to them as they are for me. by the way my pecan is doing great in jefferseon Wisconsin. same as apricot,now i got grafted English walnut too. cant wait to grow. this company is the best cause they have great quality trees and great warranty policy. thanks to all. Refet.

I ordered a couple pecan trees. They arrived on time and packed with special water containers for the roots. The only problem was that the deer enjoyed them as well. The plants are still surviving, but have had to struggle with the deer.

I am happy that the tree survived our Wiscon winter we protected it with leaves with the north wind always trying to blow them out of the cage we made to protect it . Looking to see how much it grows this summer.

it looks like it did not survive the winter ? i did everything that it said to do and this is not the only time I have planted trees. I have over 20 trees that I planted over the years. sorry for the bad news. ken.
